The solar wind is wilder than we thought — and NASA's CODEX just gave us a front-row seat. #SolarCorona #NASA #SpaceWeather

This was totality — photographed from my parents’ yard in Southern Illinois during the April 8, 2024 eclipse.

The sun’s corona was blazing, and we could even see flares along the edge.

A moment of awe, silence, and cosmic perspective.

When the moon kisses the sun, and you go "wow" as your eyes meet the telescope, scrambling to capture a moment that may never come again...

A slice of my life in Indiana during the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse: "Atmospheres".

Coronal Chronograph, by Peter Ward

This image shows the solar corona at solar maximum and solar minimum. The lower half of the picture was taken in 2017 at close to solar minimum. The upper half was taken approaching solar maximum six years later.

It was my goal to measure the [linear] polarization of the solar corona during the eclipse.
This is a preliminary image, I'll share better ones once I have completed my analysis.
[Edited]

Is it the best capture of the eclipse I saw on April 8? No. Is it a unique vibe? Yes...

My photo from the most awesome event of my life, "Black Heart".

The wisps of the solar corona, revealed by the silhouette of the Moon, a capture of the 2017 eclipse I dub "Crown of Light". I wonder how different it'll look on April 8: totality returns to the United States then. ☀️🔭🇺🇸

An article being published in the journal "Astronomy & Astrophysics" reports a study of what were compared to shooting stars, observed in details never obtained before together with the solar corona.

Hello #Astrodon folks! I wanted to #introduce myself. This is a #SciComm account for the Solar eruptioN Integral Field Spectrograph group. We're building a new instrument to study the sun! It'll help our understanding of #SolarPhysics, #StellarPhysics, #SpaceWeather, and #AerospaceEngineering.

My piece of photography "Shining through the valley", highlighting that moment during an eclipse when the lunar mountains have covered up the sun's disk, the only direct sunlight left being little "beads" that effervesce before the last plunge into total darkness.

This particular example, the only one I've yet seen, comes from the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse.

Long ago, a curtain of darkness swept over the world, gracing my eyes with incandescent atmosphere about a sun turned black. From my camera to your screen: "Crown of Light".
